What would be possible/best practice for a Photo Contest app?

Saving photos to a database and refreshing the contents with an "infinite session"? Exporting photos to my site getting written consent from my user?

I've gathered that it won't be possible to present users with a number of photos to vote on because the permissions for user's photos will often not allow just anyone (the public) to view them.

I've looked at SnapIt! Photo Contest on Facebook and it appears they are successful with what I'm trying to do. Are they breaking the Facebook TOS?

http://apps.facebook.com/snapitphoto

I'm new to Facebook development and want to be sure it is possible to do what I want before I become very invested. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks
